Rachel Delavorius, [Em] with her thick [A] eyeglasses and her plain Jane face,
[D] sat beside [G] me in my fifth grade class, [A] looking so terribly [E] out of [G] place.
Rachel played the violin, [Em] and classical music [Am] was out of [A] style.
[D] She couldn't control [G] all her wild brown [Am] hair, her nervous laughter [C] and her awkward [D] smile,
and it was clear that she'd never be one [Am] of [A] us.

[D] And every [G] year the hedge [D] got [Em] higher as it grew [Am] around Rachel's house.
[C] Like the [Bm] secret wall [Em] inside [Am] her that she built [C] to keep all the [G] [D] heartache out.
[G] [D]
[G] Rachel Delavorius moved back east [A] with her family.
[D] Now she's [G] dressed in her beautiful gown, [Am] standing on [C] stage with the [D] symphony.
[G] Rachel plays the violin, [Em] but every night when [Am] the lights go down,
[D] I wonder if she [G] still remembers those days [Am] and cruel little boys [C] in this one-horse [D] town,

us.
